Is it true that if you rub olive oil on your skin, it will moisturize it better than lotion?

Question

"It rubs the oil on its skin or it gets the hose!" J/K
I was told that this works well. I want someones input before I try it.

No Snooks. I have been in the sun alot and Im very dry. My neighbor said she put olive oil on her skin, and shes not dry. Funny comment. :)

If I do it, Ill only add it to my arms and legs. I wont put it on my face or back. Thanks for the warning. :)
